The answer is based on the history of the Gregorian calendar.
February is one of the shortest months in a year, and it has only 28 days. But why? The reason for this has to do with when February was added to the calendar. It was originally the last month of winter and had 29 days, but when Julius Caesar introduced his Julian calendar in 45 BC, he decided that there would be only 28 days in February.
The decision was made to make sure that there were always an equal number of days between every month. This was because Caesar wanted to make sure that his new calendar aligned with seasons. In addition, he wanted it to align with holidays and other events throughout Rome’s religious cycle.
This meant that every four years, when a leap year came around, February would have one extra day so that it could stay aligned with the solar cycle.
How did this affect our modern-day calendars?
